Bill Goodwin (Welsh footballer)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
William Goodwin (c. 1892–1972) was a Welsh professional footballer who played as a full-back for Oldham Athletic and Crewe Alexandra. He also represented Wales as an amateur in 1913, and played in two wartime internationals in 1919.
Goodwin was born in Mold, north Wales and played for Holywell United and Wrexham before signing for Oldham Athletic in July 1913. He made his Football League debut at Bolton Wanderers in January 1915, but made only four 4 appearances before peacetime football was suspended due to World War I.[1]
During the First World War, he served with the Royal Welsh Fusiliers, ending the war with the rank of Sergeant.
After the war, he became a first-team regular with Oldham from 1919. He joined Division 3 (North) Crewe Alexandra in May 1921 and made 157 appearances over four seasons, scoring twice. He rejoined Oldham (then in the Second Division) in June 1925 but only made three appearances, before joining Congleton Town later in the year. In 1928 he played for Mossley.[1]
